11-Year-Old Boy Saves Two People In Just One Day

This 11-year-old was honored recently by the Muskogee Police Department and the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office for saving his classmate from choking and a woman with a disability in just one day.

Davyon Johnson, a student from Oklahoma, saved his classmate from choking a few weeks back. He opened his bottled water with his mouth to refill it with water. Accidentally, the bottle’s cap slipped into his throat, and that’s when the young hero jumped into action. He immediately performed the Heimlich Maneuver he learned from YouTube and saved his classmate.

“Davyon immediately sprinted over and did the Heimlich maneuver,” Latricia Dawkins, the School’s Principal, told Muscogee Phoenix. “From the account of the witnesses, when he did it, the bottle cap popped out,” she described.

“He has always indicated that he wants to be an EMT,” the School Principal said. “So he got to put that desire into action and immediately saved that young man,” she added.

Later that day, he saw a woman with a disability on her porch struggling to walk away from her house. Seeing a need, he helped her get on the truck and leave right away. “She was on her porch. But I thought, being a good citizen, I would cross and help her get into her truck and leave,” Dayvon told the Muskogee Phoenix.

She was trying to escape from the fire which started to engulf the back of her house and eventually, devoured its front side as well. 

Muskogee Police Department and the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office gave Davyon a certificate making him an honorary member of their force. The Muskogee Public Schools Board of Education also recognized the young man at their board meeting recently. They posted their student’s heroic act on Facebook, and it already earned 1K likes and a lot of positive comments from their followers.

Goodness and heroism are not limited to a certain age, gender, or capacity. His heroic acts proved that anyone could help and be a hero. One just needs a compassionate heart and readiness to serve anytime, anywhere.

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
